It has amazed me for many years how many in the medical profession that treat chronic pain issues are oblivious to trigger points. Most chronic pain sufferers pain comes from trigger points and trigger point therapy can be very beneficial in managing pain. While we don't have the M.D. behind our names and not often thought of as source to treat such issues, a properly trained therapist can greatly reduce and help relieve many chronic pain ailments. Chronic pain is a yearly multi million dollar business and between the doctors and chiropractors getting the lions share of the pie, massage therapists are often left out of the discussion. All of these fibromyalgia , herniated disc and carpal tunnel syndrome patients in many cases could be helped by simply working the soft tissue associated with the problem and could save many from having unnecessary and disastrous post surgery results as well as all the problems associated with going to a pain management clinic for chronic pain.
